Re: seminars

[Guest guest]

Dear Sally,

I remember a couple of years ago Winston gave a life changing seminar

in York, in an old church in the city centre - I am sure someone at the NIMH

office would have the details.

best wishes,

Guy Waddell

(who does travel northwards)

<< Dear Sue,

I have been chatting to Jill (in Newcastle) about just this problem, and we

were thinking of trying to organise a seminar up here (possibly York area).

Would you be interested in helping to organise it?

We haven't done anything yet, just bounced ideas about, Jill was going to

start looking in to venues.

Anyone else in the north east area who is also interested is most welcome to

help us!

Hi Sally, and Jill,

Any seminars up closer to Scotland would be fantastic. (York/newcastle etc) We

are struggling to attend any down south because its an overnight stay in London

etc and becomes simply not affordable when new in practice. Any help we can

give - just let us know

& Kim

Hi Sally, sorry for delay in replying, have only just realised that

for the second time in under a month I've stopped receiving emails

from herbalist and mf! Am replying via archives. Would be very

interested in helping set up seminars, tho my input would be limited

until the beginning of October. I'll have a think about venues.

Probably best to contact me off list at the moment until I get my

emails sorted out.

Best wishes

Hi all

I'd like to get involved in this discussion, as I definitely view myself as

a northerner even though I currently live in Shropshire, (which when I was

younger was seen very much as 'south'!)

As I believe CPD, PTB etc come under my remit as Director of Education, and

as a member have done my fair share of griping about London seminars, I'm

keen to get the ball rolling with more PTB seminars in the north, and also

perhaps in Wales. I've had a few conversations with on just this

point, and we're considering the possibility of repeating seminars in

different locations. One of the problems is that they really need to be

financially viable, and if only a few people turn up, NIMH ends up with a

loss. Not good. I think said we need at least 25 people to attend to

make them pay for themselves (? am I right?)

So.....would it be possible for those of you living in the north and west,

to give me some idea of:

a) where would be good and central

how many of you would be prepared to attend seminars if they were in more

accessible locations

c) what topics are you interested in

and I have had a look at the premises at Crewe andra Football

Club, as Crewe is a main rail centre; how would that suit? Or do we need to

look further north? Where do you suggest? Are there 25 people who would

come? Are any of you interested in putting on a seminar yourselves?

Hopefully yours

As far as I know NIMH seminars are open to non-nimhers. I have been to many

and they have always let me through the door, but I have had to pay more.

Hi Alison

If you opened the seminars to other herbalists from (eg) URHP and AMH, I'm

sure that you'd get your necessary numbers.

Re Seminars

There are quite a few herbalists in Scotland that find it completely

prohibitive to come to the London seminars. The last 10 to 15 seminars listed

have

all been topics that I would have loved to hear about but they were ALL in

London and our rail costs are expensive, we inevitably have to spend at least

one night in London to be there for a start time of 9am and its out of the

question to drive - purely on a time basis.

It is also just as hard to get to somewhere just outside or slightly north

of London and the same costs arise. If you add up how many scottish

herbalists there are and then also northern england herbalists, doesn't it

justify

putting some seminars on in the Durham, Newcastle - ish area. It seems that

there will always be London seminars anyway, but even two or three a bit

further north would be great. At the present moment, I would be unable to

fulfil

the criteria for continued professional development simply because of the cost

and distance involved in travelling to seminars - and yes it was wonderful

that the NIMH conference was in Durham (which I attended) - but one every two

to three years isn't really enough.

As to seminar content - the ones that have been advertised recently have all

been fantastic - and I've been so disappointed that I couldn't go - so more

of the same would be wonderful

[Guest guest]

Not too far north or it becomes equally difficult for the Wales

contingent! I would very much appreciate being able to attend

seminars outside of London. As far as I know, herbalists in Wales

have not yet set up a local discussion group. Nearby seminars might

help.

What about setting up a list of herbalists who would be happy to put people

up over night (whether seminars were in London or the north) to save people

travelling long distances also paying for accommodation?

I would certainly be happy to do that.

Hi Alison, I would definately attend more seminars if some were up here in

the north. Durham was great, I seem to remember a good turnout. I am unable

at the moment to organise one myself, and as to topics , most topics are

useful, but mainly it is the getting together with other herbalists and

exchanging views and information that I value as much. Sorry not sure where

Crewe is, I will go in search of a map!

Dear ,

That is exactly what I have done for the forthcoming Reading the Body seminar

on patient assessment with Margi Flint. It is a simple thing to do : just

include an accomodation search form with the booking form.

Dear (and Guy)

Guy is absolutely right - we don't eat him! In fact I would hope we try to make

him feel more than welcome. We do charge more, but i think that is standard

practice - I got it from CPP. I suppose one has to have some sort of perk for

being a member of an organistaion!

As far as I am aware he made contact with the NIMH Exeter office (tel 01392

426022) and either he asks regularly or is sent regular mailings re seminars -

Guy perhaps would be best to tell you what he did or does.

About a year ago, you might remember that we had a discussion on this forum

about sharing seminars and it ended up with the herbal-training e-venue being

set up to inform everyone of what seminars are happening. I also remember a

brief exchange with you, , privately - in which we " made contact " . Since

then I have emailed you each time we had a seminar to let you know and so that

you could inform your members if they were not on the list. I set up a mailing

list of all the non-NIMH professional bodies and each seminar gets sent to you a

day or two after it is posted to NIMH members> I also post the seminars on the

ukherbal-list, as well as NIMH members forum. plus I inform all the schools and

unis - or at least the NIMH accredited ones as I don't have contact details for

any others. atr this time last year I was also editor of the NIMH's members

newsletter and in that capacity made contact with other PAs so that you could

let us know what you are doing which might interest our members (eg

on herb drug interactions) and I listed anything sent for free under

Forthcoming events. brief details but all anyone needed to know to find out more

- listed NIMH smeinar in same way, so no prejudice shown!

We have just had a seminar on gynaecology given by Carol (Oct 21st) -

just to give you an idea of how much networking was done to inform people - it

took me a full hour to get through the list of contacts i have just to let

everyone know about that seminar. Not looking for praise or thanks or anything

but what more can I do to inform people? It will be repeated and it will be

considerably north of Birmingham, but I haven't got a date yet.

other than post details of the herbal-training venue - but to do that I have to

go into folder and somoene else (like eirwen could probably do it without even

thinking).

I think it is herbal_training @yahoogroups.co.uk. Anyone think any different?

I hope this helps a bit, and will get us all back to sharing information in the

way we intended. i'd like to extend it to USA?Oz and anywhere else. In fact i'd

welcome sharing ideas for seminars - I'm sure everyne in every PA would say the

same - if you dont tell us what you want to have as seminar we have to guess.

Not a compaint but please let's get this on a more dynaimc and vibrant level

with lots of suggestions and input.

I'm going to answer Alison's eail separately as it raises a couple of other

issue - some of them are just NIMH related - and I'd like to remind people that

this is nit just a NIMH forum. Please remember thart non-NIMH people don;t want

to hear our rubbish.

Best wishes

Dear All

I was going to answer the peopl who brought up this subject separately but as it

now in the public domain I'll do it here.

NIMH PTB (Postgraduate Training Board for the benefit of non-NIMHs) does indeed

come under your broad remit, Alison. As Chair of PTB I fall under your

" command " . But as a basic MNIMH - please can we remember that not everyone on

this list is a MNIMH and be sensitive to that. Please take that in the best

possible way and don't be offended.

I'd like to clear up one or two inaccuracies. I took over as PTB chair about 18

months ago and set up a seminar rapidly just to get something of broad

therapeutic significance going straight away. That seminar was held in London

but it was the first NIMH PTB seminar to be held in London in 4 years. the

others had all been in other locations - mostly north some in Midlands. Whether

the subject matter was something that interested people or not is a different

matter.

My aim is to have mainstream herbal medicine seminars with a therapeutic

relevance to appeal to as many people as possible. My other aim is to make them

as widely available as possible. To do that I have to know venues - location

,access to public transport, facilities, nearby accomodation , costs, shops, and

so on. Having not been satisfed with a venue I then set about invetsigating

other venues - I spent 2 days trudging round Lonodn looking at almost every

unversity in the place (central anyway) along with another couple of places e'g

Friends' Meeting House. That was just London. A couple of people have offered to

look into ther veunes - e.g a student at Lincoln, bless her, and MNIMh new

member in Surrey.

I would dearly love people to let me know if there is a suitable venue near them

- with good public transport and accessible to people from a wider area. For

instance, I have been told that Sheffiled is both good and bad - not accessible

for anyone form Scotland, though York is better. Without travelling there and

inspecting I can't really know - UNLESS someone else who live there can tell me.

Crewe FC - a non starter. I have been back since our meeting and examined

the place. Fine venue - very close to train station and motorway, food nearby

not great but you won;t starve. Cheap. And several rooms available. BUT - every

single one of those rooms has a bar in it, which means that every one of them

smells of stale booze. I don;t think people would accept spending the entire day

with such a smell. However, Manchester Metropolitan University has a campus in

Crewe, 10 minutes walk from station over level ground, plus it's cheap and

acceptable. The cheaper the venue, the lower our breakeven point. Another

crucial factor

So, we have a seminar set for Crewe - whihc is possibly the most major train

junction in N england - every train on the planet seems to pass through Crewe,

and the M6 is couple of miles away. I can't give you details here as it would

not be fair to anyone not on this list - they will be in next NIMH mailing at

the beginning of december. and immediately after they will appear on all the

places I told you about in the other email. Just keep 7th July free!

And Alison, please check procedures! This is where I really need to transfer

this to NIMH MF - but basically - we don't just suggest people " put on seminars "

as that could lead to complete chaos. It's not that we are trying to control

things - but if everyone does their own thing then it could become unmanageable.

We have a structure in place, which the PTB is currently updating for helping

people to organise seminars on a regional basis. We help them find the right

sort of venues and we provide support with the organisation plus we do the

advertising etc. Which is what I wanted to say to Sue, Sally, Janine and

Dalhbinder. Please, if you want to organise seminars get in touch with the PTB

(if you're all NIMH members - otherwise I apologise, but I do know at least some

of you are). We don't bite really. What we do need is a couple of people who can

be our more regional reps. And I would love to have PTB people in all parts of

UK. Contact me offlist if you are interested - I am more than interested in you.

Currently we have one in SE, one in East anglia, one in Belgium, and me in SW.

Yes that does suggest a southern bias, but I spend a fair amount of time trying

to set up seminars and every time I try to have them repeated at another

location.

And just so you have things to look forwward to - the recent seminars will be

repeated " somewhere up north " , perhaps also Scotland. As soon as we can find

good venues, and agree dates with the people who ran them before (but Carole

Guyett is taking a sabbatical currently) and it was almost as much as I could do

to persuade Stuart to leave Wales once!

We are constrained by the availability of the people giving the seminar and

their agreement to travel.

Crewe for those of you who don't know is not far from Manchester (SW I think)

so is very accessible for people in Wales, Midlands, NE and NW england and

Scotland.

Also we had a review of provision - sent out a questionaire shortly after I

became chair. Followed by another asking for most important topics. We got good

feedback. It is very difficult when eveyone wants seminar on their doorstep.

Personally I'd be delighted with either Exeter or Bristol but since those venues

hardly got any takers the likelihood of my wish being fulfilled is not even

minimal. And just so you know - i don't consider Birmingham to be in the North.

I hope this hasn;t com across as whining or complaining or a " oh poor me " . I am

just trying to answer some of the issues that have been raised. And to make

people aware that there are ways of doing things in place which make everyones

life easier.

Please get in touch with me if you want to be part of the team. ther is nothing

I would like more than to share this workload.

With very best wishes

Subject: Re: seminars

Hi all

I'd like to get involved in this discussion, as I definitely view myself as

a northerner even though I currently live in Shropshire, (which when I was

younger was seen very much as 'south'!)

As I believe CPD, PTB etc come under my remit as Director of Education, and

as a member have done my fair share of griping about London seminars, I'm

keen to get the ball rolling with more PTB seminars in the north, and also

perhaps in Wales. I've had a few conversations with on just this

point, and we're considering the possibility of repeating seminars in

different locations. One of the problems is that they really need to be

financially viable, and if only a few people turn up, NIMH ends up with a

loss. Not good. I think said we need at least 25 people to attend to

make them pay for themselves (? am I right?)

So.....would it be possible for those of you living in the north and west,

to give me some idea of:

a) where would be good and central

how many of you would be prepared to attend seminars if they were in more

accessible locations

c) what topics are you interested in

and I have had a look at the premises at Crewe andra Football

Club, as Crewe is a main rail centre; how would that suit? Or do we need to

look further north? Where do you suggest? Are there 25 people who would

come? Are any of you interested in putting on a seminar yourselves?

Hopefully yours

Hi

I'm sorry, I didnt mean the comment as a criticism - didnt realise it sounded

wrong until Guy's reply! What I MEANT to suggest (in obviously too few words!)

was getting the different groups together to organise the seminars.As you

rightly mention, we have had contact re seminars.

Just as an example, the URHP and the AMH are jointly organising a seminar for

the beginning of June 2007; details of which I will post on the

herbal-training-e-venue as soon as arrangements are finalised.

Sorry all you Northern herbalists, it will be at Loseley Park near Guildford, in

the deep South.

The URHP have a number of members in North Wales, Cheshire and beyond. It would

certainly be a good idea for us work together to organise seminars all over the

UK!!

You're right, , it would be good to receive suggestions from members of all

the herbal groups on what subjects, they would like us to organise seminars and

which speakers they particularly would like to hear.

Maybe we could talk off list on ways to take this forward?

Re: seminars

,

As far as I know NIMH seminars are open to non-nimhers. I have been to many

and they have always let me through the door, but I have had to pay more.

best wishes,

Are they actively advertised to other organisations?

Hi

I'm really sorry - that wasn't meant to be criticism either and I didn't take

yours as criticism at all. Just the nature of emails I suppose.

Sorry if it came across that way.

Probably also what we should do is let each other know which venues are good

etc. Why re-invent every wheel known to mankind? Regents College is probably the

best in London - reasonable price, central, near tubes, has cafeteria. Big

drawback is that it is so popular it is reall hard to book unless you do it

about a year in advance.

As I said in other email, NIMH pTB undertook a review about 18 months ago - lots

of topics came up. I'll look through and contact you offlist and see what we can

share, co-operate on etc.

Now I'm thinking I haven't put up notice of January seminar but as it's late

I'll do it tomorrow.

January 20th, Regents College. Pulse and Tongue Diagnosis. More to follow.

best wishes

Dear

It would be great if you would compile a list of people who could offer

accomodation. I think suggested something like this a while ago. Before I

was involved. Also if you, and anyone else could add to the list stuff like

youth hostels, or even those " pod hotels " - has anyone ever stayed in one? would

you recommend them? Also Formula One hotels or Travel Inns etc - they seem to

have dropped their prices. Is it about £28 for a room - shared between 3 -4

people that might work out to be a reasonalbe amount.

Thank you for the offer - can I delegate you the job of being accomodation

officer? Little project (I hope). You could also draft something to go in NIMH

mailing - and other PA mailings if that's OK with them. ? Guy? Send it to

me just to check it over please of you're willing to take this on. NIMH mailing

deadline is 24th November - I'd need it a day or two beforehand please.

You're a treasure! Thanks again

What about setting up a list of herbalists who would be happy to put people

up over night (whether seminars were in London or the north) to save people

travelling long distances also paying for accommodation?

I would certainly be happy to do that.

Hello ,, and all,

I recently did some training in London and needed somewhere to stay

and was very generously put up by a local MNIMH. and I spoke

about how good it would be to compile a list of people who would be

happy to put other herbalists up, and that it could possibly be

compiled by geting people to tick a box when they send in their anual

subs paperwork, and then a list to go out with the register, or a tick

box/code-letter next to their names in the register, and/or on the

members page of the web-site. That way it would be a simple matter to

look up who one might be able to approach for an overnight stay. I

have put people up for things here in Birmingham in the past and I

have been very grateful to those who have put up with me in the past.

Its so niv=ce to stay with another herbalist. I had planned on doing a

short piece for Herbal Thymes suggesting this, but if someone else has

caught the ball and wanyts to run with it....

I know the above sounds like a NIMH thing only, but I am sure it could

be opened up to other herbalists if the logistics were thought through.

All the best

Noreen

PS another big big plea on behalf of all of us who get a daily digest

of the messages - PLEASE PLEASE delete all irrelevant bits of previous

postings off the bottom, before sending your emails - it really is

AWFUL to have to scroll down through loads of other stuff again and

again that one has already read to try and find the bits one hasn't

read. I have mentioned this before but it is still happening....
